I think if my Karma died today (and no IT WON'T!!!), I would get the X5 to replace it.

This is how I roll:
Using the GBA Movie player. "A good and cool device for your GBA." It must be true. That's a direct quote from the sticker!
I'm not serious of course. This thing sounds horrendous. Extremely distorted sound, high noise floor. It's kinda neat though. It can play emulated NES games and movies too. For $25, it's a nice toy.
I'll post pics of my actual setup once my Pocket Amp V2 arrives. Should be any day now!

I've made some improvements to my portable rig. I completely removed the firewire cable from the connector on the Sik ram din by slowly twisting and pulling on the nub with some needle nose pliers. Looks much better now.
Also picked up a small Samsonite camera bag at Circuit City that works out very well. The interior of the front flap is large enough to hold my 60GB iPod photo with an Agent 18 case. Padding on the bag is also better than my Diesel man purse, which I had been using before.

It's stunning, I'm very envious. The ONLY way I think you could improve your setup is to shorten the length of your RAM Din and get a remote so you can change songs, pause and change volume without opening up the bag.

how does it sound without an amp? when i connect to itunes my 212, and set the EQ to bass boost, it distorts at like half volume. would an amp UNdistort it and make the bass more present and clearer?

In iTunes; try turning the "Preamp" bar DOWN by *at least* to the same extent as the max boosted frequency.
Either that, or instead of boosting certain frequencies, REDUCE the others to give you a similar effect.
On the iPod, there is no "Preamp" bar and only presets that BOOST frequencies (how USELESS apple), so you'd have to use MP3Gain to effectively reduce the "Preamp" WITHIN the files to begin with.
If you have MP3Gained your files, you wouldn't have to adjust the Preamp bar in iTunes.
This will make the EQ usable w/out distortion. Its not a lack of power of your computer h/out or the iPod h/out, just a bad EQ implementation, thats all. The HD212 should be able to be driven by most players.
